Iron Hill Trail

Iron Hill Trail is a 3.5 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Cartersville, Georgia that features a lake and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

Nice little easy hike with mild hills and good views of the lake. Follows the lake almost the entire trail. We stopped for lunch at the tip of the peninsula. The picnic tables could use some work and the trail could be marked a little better, but I’m definitely going to come back at some point. I would like to bring my bike next time!

We had our jogging stroller-trail was perfect! Appropriately challenging for the family but it wasn’t impossible to get my jogging stroller through. We had a wonderful time with the 3 kids and can’t wait to go back.

Nice, wide, well maintained trail. There are benches and picnic areas along the way and if you're so inclined there's a number of places you can easily get to the lake and take a dip. It's a pretty easy flat trail and there are lots of side trails that look interesting to explore.

Yes it's easy, yes it's flat, and it's really only about the lake views in this one. But walking through the abandoned campground was different and that makes this one worth it. I put a video up on You.tube going through the campgrounds. Abandoned campground Red Top Mountain State Park.

If you're looking for ups and downs this isn't your trail. This is, for the most part, a very easy, very level packed gravel lakeside walk. It winds through what use to be a camp ground that was closed in the early to mid 1980's. There's picnic tables all along the shoreline, abandoned restroom facilities, and old signage. It would be amazing if one day the park decided to re activate some of these old camp sites as 'backpack in only' grounds since they offer some of the absolute best lake views in the park. I wouldn't recommend this for mountain biking, by the time you realize you're bored to tears the loop will be about done.

pretty easy took my 3 yr old with me of course he may have walked a whole 1 mile lol nice view of lake and theres you are hear signs about every half mile there are benches and picnic tables to sit at and there are a few bridges.
